• Das britische Intel Update:
Early on 08 October 2022, an explosion damaged the Kerch Strait Bridge, the road and rail crossing which links Russian-occupied Crimea and the Krasnodar region of Russia.
Two of the four carriageways of the roadway have collapsed in several places over a length of approximately 250m. It is almost certain that some vehicle transits via the other two carriageways have resumed, but capacity will be seriously degraded.
The extent of damage to the rail crossing is uncertain, but any serious disruption to its capacity will highly likely have a significant impact on Russia’s already strained ability to sustain its forces in southern Ukraine.
The rail crossing was only opened to freight in June 2020, but the line has played a key role in moving heavy military vehicles to the southern front during the invasion.
This incident will likely touch President Putin closely; it came hours after his 70th birthday, he personally sponsored and opened the bridge, and its construction contractor was his childhood friend, Arkady Rotenberg.
In recent months, Putin’s former bodyguard, now commander of the Russian National Guard, Viktor Zolatov, has provided public assurances about the security of the bridge.

So, almost forty combat clashes took place during the day. The most tense situation was observed in the Bakhmut and Avdiyivka directions, where our defenders repelled more than 30 enemy attacks.
The enemy fires at the positions of our troops along the contact line, carries out engineering equipment of defensive lines and positions in certain directions, and conducts aerial reconnaissance by UAVs.

At night, the russian occupiers cynically struck the residential buildings and civil infrastructure of Zaporizhzhya.

Areas of more than forty-five settlements near the contact line were shelled in the South Buh direction. Among others, Sukhy Stavok, Kvitneve, Myrne, Zorya and Ternovi Pody.
The enemy and its henchmen are fleeing, frightened by the successes of the Defense Forces of Ukraine.

According to available information, on October 7, a convoy of 12 minibuses left for the city of Sevastopol. A similar situation is observed in the Luhansk region.

The occupiers continue to put pressure on small and medium-sized businesses in the temporarily occupied territories. Since the beginning of October, in the city of Horlivka, the tax inspectorate of the russian federation has started inspections with subsequent raiding of companies with detected violations.
